Wha' happen?

As well as being the title of an excellent album by the Beat, it's also my reaction to the Coachella board.
I've been away for a while, come back and the board seems to have gone to Hell in the proverbial handbasket.

Re: Wha' happen?

fuck you you goddamned slimy piece of shit. take your 'belligerence' and shove it up your kilthole.

Weren't the Beat great? I try to tell these young kids that "I Just Can't Stop It" is one of the greatest albums of the early 80s, but it just falls on deaf ears. eh, their loss. How you been? did you have a nice Coachella?

Where the fuck did all the belligerence come from?

well, we can't really talk about coachella anymore. i mean, how many "predictions" threads, "who would you like to see play in 08" threads, "complaints" threads and "how to improve coachella" threads can there be?

Re: Wha' happen?

hey Pete.. don't come at me with another "what'd I do", ok? You're in such a posting rage you trampled right over Chris' important revelation about how his hair is going to save the board. You didn't even notice it. This is one reason why you annoy the fuck out of me, you just trample other people's stuff with your crap.

Hey Tom. I had an excellent Coachella - stayed hydrated, saw the bands I wanted to see, avoided Rage fans, the usual stuff.
I'm just gearing up for Lolla in August and Download at Alpine Valley in September. Missed the Rock Ness Festival in Scotland (Daft Punk/Chemicals) by a week (boo!), but caught !!! (who I missed at Coach) and Porcupine Tree recently.

And yes the Beat were magnificent. I always laugh when I tell people I love ska and they say "me too, aren't No Doubt great"?

Re: Wha' happen?

Hi Alan how are you? How is the Lad? (I'm going to capitalize Lad here because it is a proper name to me.) Have you heard any good music recently?

Hey Courtney. I'm doing okay, as is the Lad (he wakes at 4pm every day, how could he not be okay!).

It's been a kinda weird time lately - the reason I was in Scotland was to see my folks and particularly my dad, who's been sick for 18 months with a legacy of his time working with asbestos 40 years ago.

I'm not sure if "lucky" is the right word, but we were able to be there when he passed. The relief just about trumps grief at this stage - although I'm not sure how I'll do come Father's Day on Sunday...

I've lived in the US for almost 5 years now, so maybe it hasn't sunk in that much yet, since I never saw my folks that regularly anyway. I dunno what the correct way to react is, it's a little surreal.

Hopefully it doesn't sound flippant to answer your music question too. It's not meant to be. I did pick up some new music while we were in Scotland. The Mark Ronson album is pretty good, but the DFA Remix cd and the sampler of Scottish independent labels (Chemikal Underground, Postcard etc.) are both superb.

How's everyone post-Coachella (apart from all the namecalling and general wankishness?)

Welcome back, john peel.

This board has been killed by LGM and Kroqken, btw.

Hehe....He IS distinctive, I guess! We moved forward to get a better spot, then moved in the opposite direction when the goddam sound made the ears bleed! I really looked forward to seeing Of Montreal, but I'm prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt that they are normally better than that.

And before I forget, thanks for all the kind words from everyone, both on the board and privately. They are very much appreciated.

Re: Wha' happen?

My condolences, John. Losing a parent is a tough thing. I, too, lost my daddy last September and the one thing I am/always will be most grateful for was being right beside him when he died. Here are hugs for you: )))))))(((((((
